This week, we chase away the gloom and find our smiles with a ton of great ideas for outings: parties, movie sessions, circus and music!
We Admire Animals from Every Angle
Photographed, naturalized or transformed into contemporary art objects, animals inspire artists in Paris. From felines to marine mammals, here is a look at five exhibitions not to be missed!
Festive Gatherings Await
Let’s head to Bollywood! Note in your agendas! The Musée du quai Branly celebrates Bollywood cinema with a free evening accessible to all. The program includes a giant karaoke, movie marathon, culinary workshops, mini-visits for children, and dance initiations.
We Play Dance Floor Stars
As part of the Monte le Son festival, dancer, choreographer, and DJ Soulist invites children aged 6 to 13 to an electrifying party! After learning the basics of a choreography, they will be swept away by funky and soul dances.
We Have Fun with Crazed Characters
Mixing circus shows and parties for children, the Free Kids Party at Cirque Électrique is a detonating cocktail that will amaze the little ones! Left free in a festive space, they will witness a succession of acts like juggling, trapeze, and other clown performances with Mr. Cornichon or Sisi la mayo… It promises to be exciting!
Cinema Adventures
We embark on an adventure with Calamity
Let’s follow in the footsteps of the legendary Calamity Jane with the film by Rémi Chayé. We discover the young Jane, in dangerous adventures rich in encounters that will make her the legend we know. And just before the session, you can chat about movie heroines while snacking on popcorn!
We are moved by Ernest & Célestine
We fall for Ernest, a big marginal bear, clown and musician, and Célestine, an orphan who fled the underground world of rodents. These two solitary beings will become friends, comfort each other, and show everyone that a friendship between a bear and a mouse is possible…
We are amazed by a cinema-show
Actress Andrea Boeryd plays Lila Lumière in Tempête, a poetic cinema-show. In a funny and surprising universe, the videos dialogue with visual inventions and the wind rages, it’s a storm on the screen!
Shows and Music
We spend a circus moment
As part of the Night of the Circus, the Coopérative de rue et de cirque offers Lueur, a show where two acrobats will offer a mysterious and animal performance. And for those who want to go further, a parent/child workshop will teach you acrobatic postures from acroyoga.
We listen intently
Given their success, the Bébés Concerts continue, and for this November, birds and their beautiful feathers will be in the spotlight! We will find Le Cygne by Saint-Saëns and La Poule et le Rossignol by Ottorino Respighi, two inspiring composers.
Walks and Nature
We’re dazzled
Lumières en Seine will enchant the national domain of Saint-Cloud for a sparkling night stroll. Starry trees, magical water lilies, illuminated waterfall, or Santa’s sleigh: with a two-kilometer route, the magic of the holiday season and the enchantment of winter will merge to add some sparkle to our lives… sorry, in our eyes!
We breathe in the scent of flowers
A whole day among orchids, does that tempt you? The Jardin des serres d’Auteuil offers “Les Orch’idées”, a stroll to learn all about these floral species. The youngest will have fun understanding the lifestyle of orchids while the older ones will take part in a repotting workshop.
Activities and Workshops
We stroll in Ireland
The Saint-Eloi library (12th arrondissement) offers a musical journey to the Emerald Isle. Irish singer Ríoghnach Connolly will come to sing lullabies and nursery rhymes from her country to explore the myths and popular customs of Ireland.
We enter the world of Katsumi Komagata
Visual, geometric, and colorful… We enter the world of Japanese artist Katsumi Komagata. As part of the youth cycle “À hauteur de bébé”, this workshop offers to familiarize yourself with the language of shapes, colors, textures, rhythms of the creator’s texts, through a discovery for four hands.
We create our dream neighborhood
Creating your ideal neighborhood with its schools, housing, parks… Let the little architect within each child express themselves through a workshop linked to the exhibition “Les artistes brouillent les cartes” proposed by the Fonds d’art contemporain. Armed with scissors, glue, and pencils, children draw and assemble their creation to bring out their dream neighborhood!
